About this study

Official title: Identification and Analysis of Immunomodulatory Molecules From Leukocytes in Patients With Hematologic Disorders and Healthy Volunteers

This research study goal is to analyze the plasma and the cells that make up part of the immune system. We want to learn how the plasma and cells work. These may influence why one person will develop an infection and another will not, or why one person develops severe symptoms of a disease while others remain without symptoms.

Read the detailed description

This research study goal is to analyze the plasma and the cells that make up part of the immune system. These cells, called white cells or leukocytes, are present in blood. We want to learn how these cells work to prevent infection and how they respond after an infection occurs. We also want to study certain molecules present on the plasma, on or in these cells, and the genetic material that allows these molecules to be made. These molecules may influence why one person will develop an infection and another will not, or why one person develops severe symptoms of a disease while others remain without symptoms. This study may increase our understanding of a variety of diseases including infections such as HIV, allergic diseases such as asthma, joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, certain cancers, and the rejection process that sometimes occurs after transplantation of an organ.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematologic Diseases and Healthy Volunteers, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Repository collection of plasma and serum for future analysis. (time frame: 12 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jul 2021.
